Indeed, and I believe I know which thread you refer to - and there may be other instances, all of which have their specific considerations. Which is why this isn't going to be a thread on moderation policy or practice. It would get awfully long, and ultimately fail to please everyone - but you should challenge, via PM to either the relevant Global Moderator for the section you have an issue with or an Administrator.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1380705421' post='2229112'] Is it BC worry about defamation? No-one posted any false negative info did they? [/quote] Of course, there's very little means to identify false information from accurate - all feedback is, by it's nature, subjective. Which presents issues on occasion Within recent memory, you all may recall a member posting about a couple of brands with which they had had an issue - and which did generate a threat of legal action against the individual. Thus, I think it's only fair to urge caution - both for the individual member posting, and for the administrator considering the issue. I suspect someone has made a judgement call and erred on the side of caution, which I think is the safe thing to do, to protect either site or membership - and Charic has reviewed that decision and responded.

I tend to go with collection or delivery - one, as I'm busy, so it's best for when I'm either at home or out on the road; two, it gives people the chance to try, which I think is important.

Worth aiming for a Pro over the standard Epiphone Thunderbird? I'll admit, mine was cute... but didn't really cut it; and some of the fitting was suspect. All the feedback has been that the neckthrough Pro versions are a real cut above.

Crikey! Brilliant bit of work

Welcome in

Moved to Site Issues to ensure it doesn't get lost in General Discussion. I think it's reasonable to ask - let's see what Ped and Kiwi might make of it

Superb, thanks for sharing

Ouch!

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1380052772' post='2220253'] Can we combine these two and delete mine? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/217795-new-mods/"]http://basschat.co.u...17795-new-mods/[/url] [/quote] Topics merged

Maybe the page is cloaked?

[quote name='HazBeen' timestamp='1380038699' post='2219944'] Job description did say "must have mild S&M tendencies". Yeah to BC! [/quote] We did tone it down after recruiting icastle, I must admit

[quote name='cocco' timestamp='1379076382' post='2208416'] It's a good looking bass, but I can't get around the £400 more it costs than the standard, what do you get apart from gold paint and gold hardware? [/quote] Seconded.

I could ruffle some feathers with QOTSA, then? Still, the title of the thread was [i]disappointing[/i] not [i]worst[/i] - and it's by no means the worst, I just expected a bit more from it; it feels a little like a wander through some dark lands. Which is perhaps, given the context, what it is. I think I'm still wedded to the earlier material, living out some old glories

Agreed - and Basschat loves a good argument! Really? I think they have some issues with their set listing - they played Download and the first half was storming, but the rest dropped a few notches... they do have some very slow, old-world bluesy numbers, which really slow things down; they just struggle to build a set around them. The last album does a little of the same.

Sorry dude, was paraphrasing - that said, "boring" would definitely have described Soundgarden's showing at Download; does show that opinions can vary! [url="http://youtu.be/jeXChfKnh3I"]http://youtu.be/jeXChfKnh3I[/url]

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1379681526' post='2215654'] Support were Graveyard, from Sweden, I think. [/quote] Wow, surprising to hear they were "boring" then! They've put out some very good stuff.

Welcome in - dropped you a quick PM You'll find this a great place to be

The challenge, now, will be finding one in the UK!

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1379408346' post='2212199'] My old Lakland Darryl Jones had one of the slimmest neck profiles I've used. My preference is for something a bit chunkier nowadays though! [/quote] Would agree, it's a great neck on the DJ. Even slimmer, perhaps, is my ESP-LTD Surveyor - nice Satin finish on the neck, which tends to remain fast despite heavy playing. My old MTD Kingston Heir had a slim and very [i]flat[/i] neck, not much curvature. That was a superb player, and had it been a 4-string it would still have been on the rack. They're not well know to a lot of players, so it's hard to point people at a music shop to try one.

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1379573420' post='2214242'] errr..... wait! Has anyone seen this video? The more I see and hear about this bass the more I am liking it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxkXfSD-CvE [/quote] Crikey, HH? Am now fully sold.
